In the design and maintenance of buildings, identifying the degree of damage in the event of a fire is an important factor in fire prevention and fire safety design. In order to predict fire damage, safety measures should be established by predicting the nature of evacuation according to fire, smoke and in-house characteristics, and the effects of the operation of fire safety facilities should also be considered, but in Korea, the risk analysis due to the operation of fire safety facilities is insufficient. Accordingly, this study uses fire statistics and sprinkler inspection data to analyze the degree of fire damage caused by the operation of sprinkler facilities in a probabilistic manner.

In case of inundation in a city where populations and properties are highly concentrated, unlike rural areas it is necessary to apply the method of calculating the damage amount considering the sewage overflow and the corresponding building damage. In this study, Dorim 1 drainage sector has been analyzed with Multi-Dimensional Flood Damage Assessment (MD-FDA) for flood forecast. It is analyzed with past flood history through the SWMM model and calculated the amount of damage with district base data and the result of flow analysis. The result of the SWMM model to predict a range of flood, it was shown that the wide area after 4 hours (at 16:30) by sewer overflow. The building damage was estimated using MD-FDA. As a result, the maximum flood area has shown as $205,955m^2$ (0~0.5 m: $205,190m^2$, over 0.5 m: $865m^2$) and estimated building damage of Dorim 1 drainage sector is approximately 15.5 billion KRW (Korean won) and other contents is 7 billion KRW (Korean won). Also from 0 to 0.5 m depth estimated damage is approximately 22.4 billion KRW (Korean won) and over 0.5 m is 100 million KRW (Korean won). Based on the results of this study, it would be necessary to estimate the amount of sub-divided flood damage in urban areas according to various damage patterns such as flood depth and flood time.

In this study, the purpose of the study is to determine the depth of damage caused by early frost damage in concrete slab structures under the conditions of external temperature during winter. In other words, we intend to analyze the depth variation of the early frost damage as the thickness of the normal strength concrete slab members changes. As a result, the thinner the component was, the deeper the early frost damage was found to be, and the resulting increase in brightness of the concrete was delayed. and It is analyzed that under this test condition, an early frost damage was created with a thickness of 50 mm for the member and a thickness of 39 mm for the member of 300 mm.

When an earthquake occurs, the severity of damage is determined by natural factors such as the magnitude of the earthquake, the epicenter distance, soil properties, and type of the structures in the affected area, as well as the socio-economic factors such as the population, disaster prevention measures, and economic power of the community. This study evaluated the direct economic loss due to building damage and the community's recovery ability. Building damage was estimated using fragility functions due to the design earthquake by the seismic design code. The usage of the building was determined from the information in the building registrar. Direct economic loss was evaluated using the standard unit price and estimated building damage. The standard unit price was obtained from the Korean Real Estate Board. The community's recovery capacity was calculated using nine indicators selected from regional statistical data. After appropriate normalization and factor analysis, the recovery ability score was calculated through relative evaluation with neighboring cities.

The normalised version of bispectrum, the so-called bicoherence, has often proved a reliable method of damage detection on engineering applications. Indeed, higher-order spectral analysis (HOSA) has the advantage of being able to detect non-linearity in the structural dynamic response while being insensitive to ambient vibrations. Skewness in the response may be easily spotted and related to damage conditions, as the majority of common faults and cracks shows bilinear effects. The present study tries to extend the application of HOSA to damage localisation, resorting to a neural network based classification algorithm. In order to validate the approach, a non-linear finite element model of a 4-meters-long cantilever beam has been built. This model could be seen as a first generic concept of more complex structural systems, such as aircraft wings, wind turbine blades, etc. The main aim of the study is to train a Neural Network (NN) able to classify different damage locations, when fed with bispectra. These are computed using the dynamic response of the FE nonlinear model to random noise excitation.

This study investigates the relationship between the damage patterns and structural performance levels of a multi-strand 7-wire strand that is used as an important member of stay cables. Stay cables are continuously damaged after completion, and corrosion is the main cause. However, it is difficult to check the damage pattern inside the cable due to its structural characteristics, and it is difficult to evaluate the degradation level of the damage quantitatively. This study derives the relationship between the damage pattern and the performance level of the stranded wire by comparing results and analyzing them through an indoor experiment and finite element analysis. In order to simulate the damage of a 7-wire strand, artificial damage was applied by mechanical precision machining to perform a performance evaluation. The results of the analysis show that regardless of the damage size of the strand, the structural performance deteriorated immediately after the damage. It was experimentally and analytically deduced that the type and amount of damage should be considered as a parameter for evaluating the performance level of the strand. This information can be used for the safety management of a cable stayed bridge by constructing a database according to the pattern and amount of damage.

In this study, we develop diagnostic technology for damage depth of fire-damaged concrete and propose methods for damage caused by fire by drying damaged concrete after immersion. As a result of the test, the damaged depth was clearly found when evaluating the depth of impurities caused by fire in a drying method after water had permeated, and it could be verified using thermogravimetric analysis.

Stiffness estimation of a shear building due to local damages is usually achieved though structural analysis based on the assumed material properties and idealized numerical modeling of structure. Conventional numerical modeling, however, frequently causes an inevitable error in the structural response and this makes it difficult to exactly predict the damage state in structure. To solve this problem, this paper introduces a damage detection technique for shear building using genetic algorithm. The introduced algorithm evaluates the damage in structure using a flexibility matrix since the flexibility matrix can exactly be obtained from the field test in spite of using a few lower dynamic modes of structure. The introduced algorithm is expected to be more effectively used in damage detection of structures rather than conventional method using the stiffness matrix. Moreover, even in cases when an accurate measurement of structural stiffness cannot be expected, the proposed technique makes it possible to estimate the absolute change in stiffness of the structure on the basis of genetic algorithm. The validity of the proposed technique is demonstrated though numerical analysis using OPENSEES.

A simple and an improved methods for the assessment of flood damage were used in previous studies, and the Multi-Dimensional Flood Damage Assessment (MD-FDA) has been applied since 2004 in Korea. This study evaluated flood damage of dam downstream using considering MD-FDA method based on GIS data. Firstly, flood water level with FLDWAV (Flood Wave routing) model was input into cross section layer based on enforcement drainage algorithm, water depth grid data were created through spatial calculation with DEM data. The value of asset of building and agricultural land according to local government was evaluated using building layer from digital map and agricultural land map from landcover map. Also, itemized flood damage was calculated by unit price to building shape, evaluated value of housewares to urban type, unit cost to crop, tangible and inventory asset of company connected with building, agricultural land, flooding depth layer. Flood damage in rainfall frequency of 200 year showed 1.19, 1.30 and 1.96 times to flood damage in rainfall frequency of 100 year, 50 year and 10 year respectively by flood damage analysis.
